New Year Congratulations.

PITTsBURe (Pa.), December 30th.-
Among the New Years sentiments pub
lished tomorrow morning by the Pitts
burg Volksblatt, is the following contribu-
ton by Andrew Carnegie:
Editor Volksblat: The old European continent
is an AIMED camp. Its millions are training
how best to kill each other. The new American
continent is a smiling garden. Its millions are
cultivating the arts of peace. The dynasties of
the Old World sink deeper and deeper under
their load of debt, while the New World is
troubled how to dispose of its surplus. In
despotic Europe Anarchists and Nihilists
abound, the result of unjust laws. The germs
of these pernicious growths. transplanted to
Republic, wither and die. For these and many
other mercies. rejoice; for, of all lands America
Is the most favored. ANDREW CARNEGIE.
